[DAS] warning: virus found in das message with subject:Questionnaire

[Chris Dagdigian]

Hi folks,

I'm getting buried by corporate email scanners telling me that a recent 
DAS post had the W32.Klez.H@mm virus in it.

These messages come to me since I'm aliased as the "das-admin" contact.

I'm cc'ing kotlow@earthlink.net since this is the person who is 
apparently infected.

Since I'm not sure if the autoreponder messages will make it out to the 
actual DAS list I figured I'd pass along this warning.

We eventually plan to do our own sendmail-level viral scanning on all 
inbound and outbound email given our reliance on big discussion lists 
but that is going to have to wait until our new Solaris mailserver box 
gets built.

Regards,
Chris
